1441963448Handbook of Signal Processing Systems is organized in four parts. The first part motivates representative applications that drive and apply state-of-the art methods for design and implementation of signal processing systems; the second part discusses architectures for implementing these applications; the third part focuses on compilers and simulation tools; and the fourth part describes models of computation and their associated design tools and methodologies.This handbook provides:* A comprehensive overview of signal processing systems* Standalone, complete reference to signal processing systems* A comprehensive index for ease of use* An extensive bibliography for further readingThis handbook is essential for those involved in R&D in the design, architecture, and implementation of a wide array of signal processing systems. This handbook is also suitable as a first point of entry to the field for undergraduate and post-graduate students in engineering, computer sciences, and system engineering.

EnglishISBN10:
0817681000This self-contained and user-friendly textbook is designed for a first, one-semester course in statistical signal analysis for a broad audience of students in engineering and the physical sciences. The emphasis throughout is on fundamental concepts and relationships in the statistical theory of stationary random signals, which are explained in a concise, yet rigorous presentation. With abundant practice exercises and thorough explanations, A First Course in Statistics for Signal Analysis is an excellent tool for both teaching students and training laboratory scientists and engineers. Improvements in the second edition include considerably expanded sections, enhanced precision, and more illustrative figures.

0387260579An increasing number of system designers are using ASIP’s rather than ASIC’s to implement their system solutions. Building ASIPs: The Mescal Methodology gives a simple but comprehensive methodology for the design of these application-specific instruction processors (ASIPs).The key elements of this methodology are:Judiciously using benchmarkingInclusively identifying the architectural spaceEfficiently describing and evaluating the ASIPsComprehensively exploring the design spaceSuccessfully deploying the ASIPThis book includes demonstrations of applications of the methodologies using the Tipi research framework as well as state-of-the-art commercial toolsets from CoWare and Tensilica.

0130175471Useful as a reference work, this book offers a good balance between theoretical concepts and practical solutions, with more rigorous formulation of certain problems such as motion estimation, sampling, basic coding theory. Provides an in-depth exposition of fundamental theory and techniques for video processing, including frequency domain characterization of video signals and visual perception, video sampling and format conversion, two dimensional and three dimensional motion estimation. Also presents techniques important for video communications, including video coding and error control, and up-to-date coverage on recent international standards on video communications. A chapter is devoted to video streaming over Internet and wireless networks, one of the most popular video communication applications. In addition, it discusses processing and communications of stereoscopic and multiview video. Practicing researchers and engineers.
